on the eourtship that made me change NV
name to Mrs BOwser. / was full of trust
and love and romance, and I looked upon
hr- BOWser as a god. One of his favorite
pastlmes was to place me where thu lamp
hight tell upon my hair and tO address me
a. hls gOlden-hairsd angel. Poor silly girl
that | was, thought il would always last,
One evenig after we hat been married i've
or SIX weeks took my stand under the gas
and asked him il his SngeI VS. - dear 20

That was because I wasa fool -
l went over 10 the other side Of the room
and cried, and he let ME weep away for Il
straight hour by the clock before he OBJ
served:
Now, Mrs. Bowser, il you have got

Mr. 3owser, there WAS a time when
you'd have walked a. night with 4 corn on
